Books by Leo Hendry

Home circumstances or school regimes are often blamed for the worst excesses of pupil disaffection. The authors argue that this simplistic response needs to be re-examined, and report the findings of a research programme based on the views and experiences of pupils themselves.

This first collection of Hendry¿s works provides an overarching perspective on lifespan development through a dynamic systems theory approach. The papers are linked by commentary and analysis contextualising each piece within today¿s research climate

Following the path from early adulthood to old age, this engrossing introduction offers students an insight into how psychologists have made sense of the significant markers in people's lives. The authors discuss stage theories, and ecological and systemic approaches to show how these ideas illuminate our understanding of lifespan development.
